Permafrost, wetland, wildfire and freshwater emissions could amplify climate change by up to 30%, study finds

As frozen ground thaws in the Arctic, dead plants and animals locked in soils for thousands of years start to decay, releasing methane and carbon dioxide. Those gases trap heat from the sun and warm the planet. And the more the planet warms, the more Arctic permafrost thaws. This is just one feedback loop among […]

Nigeria’s nature reserves need more help to protect life Palm Oil Detectives

Apart from conserving species, #wetlands help to control floods, replenish groundwater, stabilise shorelines, retain nutrients and purify water. The park will join Nigeria’s protected area of 445 forest reserves, 29 game reserves, 12 strict nature reserves, 11 Ramsar sites, 7 national parks and one biosphere reserve.

The #EPA is moving forward with gutting the Clean Water Act by further limiting which waters are protected at the federal level. This move puts practically all streams and #wetlands at risk and is a blatant giveaway to corporate polluters who have been trying to weaken the #CleanWaterAct. https://act.sierraclub.org/actions/National?actionId=AR0615768&id=701Po00000gF50nIAC&utm_medium=web&utm_source=Bitly&utm_campaign=ourwildamerica&utm_content=final-wotus

Rapid wetland loss and ‘real estate boom’ increasing flood risk in Lagos

In July, following relentless bursts of rainfall, flash floods covered pockets of Lagos, disrupting commerce and traffic in Nigeria’s commercial capital. Experts have found that the city now faces increased flood risk due to human-induced climate change. Other recent studies have identified another common factor exacerbating flooding risk in Lagos: rapid urbanization. In a study […]

— Can We Save Their Waters? — A yellow autumn darter in midsummer may be summering in the forest. Yet heat, pesticides and drying rice fields are changing its woods and breeding grounds. A Ceres stream-damsel changes color in a different way, but both tiny bodies reflect a changing world. Can we save the waters they return to?

Marsh Deer Blastocerus dichotomus Palm Oil Detectives

The Marsh deer are South America's largest deer species, uniquely adapted to wetland life with their web-like hooves and preference for aquatic plants. They are prey animals for jaguars and pumas. These majestic creatures, once widespread, are now confined to isolated pockets. Their main threat is habitat loss and fragmentation due to palm oil, soy and meat deforestation along with hydroelectric dams and gold mining. Even as researchers strive to understand their complex and obscure social and
